L'enseignement de la bioéthique dans la Pologne postcommuniste

Abstract

Bioethics education in Poland has progressively incorporated the main bioethics principles: a spirit of dialogue, pluralism and multi-disciplinarity as well as the search for a consensus on the main social issues. However these characteristics are still very fragile because of specific Polish elements: the influence of the medical profession and its traditional and dogmatic ethics, the post-Communist heritage, cultural values and historic reasons.
